Overwhelmingly, masks are the primary deterrent to getting COVID-19, and there are MANY people I see in these stores who would be at high risk of death if they caught it.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Restaurants have had "No shirt, No shoes, No service" signs in their windows for decades, and nobody bats an eye about that. But entering a restaurant without these has a trivial effect on others' health compared to walking around in a pandemic without a mask.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Nobody has the "right" to expose others to a potentially fatal disease.<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I would ask everyone to <b>please </b>contact the grocery stores, barbers/beauty shops, and other businesses you frequent to ask if they have a "No Mask, No Entry" policy. If not, you could ask if they at least have certain hours a week when they enforce it. If they don't at least do that, please tell them that not only can you no longer use their store, but you're going to tell all your friends not to do so, as well. <br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">It won't take many people to do this before store owners (or hopefully at least the majority of them) will realize that they need to take an action on this. If all of us in the UU Community do it, it could have a dramatic effect.<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Thank you all for your consideration,</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Mike<br></div><div><br></div><div class="ydpdf0bd9cbsignature"><p>Nehru to Gandhi, on his deathbed: <em>"Mahatma, in your lifetime, you have turned the world utterly upside down.
